Chicken Stir-fried Noodles

This is an absolutely delicious, easy to cook one pot meal, and it can be quite healthy too if made using the right ingredients. This is a staple favourite at our home!

The preparation is quick and it is also a kids favourite, so no need to keep prompting the kids to finish their dinner. I try to add at least one green vegetable to most meals I prepare to keep it balanced, but sometimes it’s a struggle to get the kids to eat it, however with these noodles no such hassle.

This preparation is strictly gluten free. I couldn’t find any relevant gluten free oyster sauce or fish sauce, so I used brown sugar instead to make the sauce little dark and thick.
